Details:
Old School Abbey is excited to announce the release of their new album "Only A Dream" being released March 15th 2009. Produced @ Mission Bells Studio in San Francisco, CA with David Simon-Baker. The full length album is boasting 15 new tracks and featuring guest appearances by Jackie Greene. Tim Blum of The Mother Hips. Zach Gill (Jack Johnson), Dave Brogan and Dan Lebowitz of ALO.
Old School Abbey’s sound has been described as sounding “the way rock should—unpolished and bustling with energy…” A young band out of Beckley, West Virginia. Teeming with knowledge, they own a sound long missing from the music scene; a desire and passion long forgotten by the mainstream. Tinges of Ben Harper, Dave Matthews, Keller Williams, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, and a whole host of acoustic solo rockers drip all over the sound Old School Abbey, but a delightful electric twist adds a new sort of energy. Twin acoustic guitar rhythms layered underneath reinforce the organic quality of a band that seems to be ready to break out at any moment.
OSA finds their sound just as fitting on a preteen''s iPod as it does from a bar full of smoke and liquor. They will pass your time on a long drive, and they will bring the crowd to your campsite at your next music festival. OSA drives a sound from Beckley to the masses and speaks in a language that breathes as clearly into the ears of the music aficionado as the pop radio crowd. OSA is based in Beckley, with sights on the world.
